Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Halve jalapeño lengthwise, removing ribs and seeds for less heat. Cut one half into half-moons; mince remaining jalapeño.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and minced jalapeño. Cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Stir tomato paste into pot with scallion mixture. Cook, stirring, until dark red and combined, 1-2 minutes.
• To same pot, add diced tomatoes, kidney beans and their liquid, black beans and their liquid, Mexican Spice Blend, stock concentrate, ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings), salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Cover pot and bring to a simmer. • Once simmering, uncover and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pot, until slightly thickened and flavors meld, 8-10 minutes. • Taste and season chili with salt and pepper.
• While chili simmers, in a small bowl, combine crema with hot sauce to taste. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide chili between bowls. Drizzle with as much spicy crema and sliced jalapeño as you like. Garnish with scallion greens and serve with tortilla chips on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was SO satisfying. I'm consistently amazed by the level of flavor achieved with a handful of ingredients. I'd make this again and again. We had a little left over, and it made for a great breakfast topped with a fried egg.
This should come with two bags of chips. Nice, easy chili recipe with easy clean up. The crema sauce to stir into the chili makes it extra good.
Omg this meal was everything and it had no meat in it. Of course you have season it a little bit more and if you have kids be mindful of the spice
It had great flavor and warmth without being too spicy for the kids.
This recipe made a lot of chili! The flavors were great!
This is good, not too spicy. Generous servings. It fed 3 of us and we still had a little bit left over.
This is delicious! It was heavily spiced for my taste. If you could add vegan sour cream, I think that would be a nice addition.
It was a little more spicy than expected, but the creme helped. I didn't add hot sauce to the creme or extra jalapeños on top. Was spicy enough for me.
Vegan cream should be outlawed, disgusting, don't ever send that to me again please. It even looks terrible, it looks like glue. Also, the onions were old and wilted. But, it pains me to give this two stars because the chili itself is fabulous. Tasty and easy to prepare. I will get it again, but with my own crema
This was so good that I got the ingredients and cooked it again for a dinner party the following week!
